How To Check If Virtualization is Enabled in Windows 10 / 11

If you are looking for computers that are capable of Virtualization, then you must first know if your Windows PC is based on Intel or AMD processors or not. Well, these two processors come with the capability to manage virtualization using a pair of integrated CPU codes. For the CPU codes to be  active, BIOS needs to be turned on because it’s turned off by default.

So, if you want to check if your CPU supports virtualization you must first check your PC is using which type of CPU. To know if virtualization is enabled in your CPU, you can follow the below method.

It will show if it’s Enabled or Disabled. Here, we can see it’s Enabled.
